STOVE-URN.

Specficaton of Letters Patent No. 25,284, dated August 30, 1859.

T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES SPEAR, of the city and county of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement onornamental Stove- Urns; and I do hereby declare that the folloWing is aclear, full, and eXact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ofthis specifioation, in which Figure 1, is a side elevation of the urn,in which the register composes its base. Fig. 2, is a plan view of aregister with a solid center on which the base of an ordinary urn canirest, With the slide C, in the register working around the base of theurn. Fig. 3, is a sectional view of the register B, placed on the stoveA, With the urn D, resting on the center B' of the register.

In Fig. l, D, represents the body of the urn, D' the lid, E, the cup, O,the openings in the register, B, and C, the movable part of theregister.

In Fig. 2, B, represents the register, C, the movable part of theregister', O, the openings, and B' the center.

In F ig. 3, B, represents the register, B', the center, D, the body ofthe urn, D' the lid A, the stove and O, the openings in the register,and L, the pipe.

The nature of my improvement relates to the means by which the fire inparlor stoves may be checked, without opening the stove door. It is wellknown that various devices have been employed for this purpose and theprincipal ones employed is that of opening the stove door, or placing adamper in the pipe, both of Which is objectionable, the first namedcools the upper portion of the stove and the fire assumes the appearanceof a dead dull fire, and the second, is liable to throw the gasesarising from the fuel into the room. \Vith this improved urn, anentirely different effect is produced. The openings in the register canbe so regulated as to check the draft of the fire, and at the same timeleaves a uniform heat on all parts of the stove above the fire door,thus 'producing a clear bright but slow fire, Which cannot be obtainedwhen the stove door is open. Second, the air entering the openings O, inthe register, rushes directly into the pipe L, as is shown by the arrowheads, in Fig. 3 Which air cuts off the draft of the stove, and producesa much better effect than that of a damper in the pipe.

\Vhat I claim and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the register in the base of the urn with theornamental receptacle for the cup constructed in the manner and for thepurpose described.
